With our seamless integration with Indeed, IdealTraits users can easily sponsor a job ad and view analytics and job ad performance directly on the IdealTraits platform.
How to Sponsor a Job Ad with Indeed
1. Log in to your IdealTraits account, click "Jobs" > "View All" and locate the active ad you want to sponsor.
2. In the action drop-down, select "Sponsor"
3. The next screen you will see is the "Sponsor Job" page that looks similar to the image below. Under the "Indeed" logo, click on the button that says "Continue"
4. From here, a window will appear on your screen asking for the email address associated with your Indeed account. If you do not have an Indeed account, insert the email you would like to use in order to create an Indeed account. Click "Connect"
5. Check your email for a login code sent from Indeed, enter it into your browser, and select "Sign in".
6. Click "Allow" to allow IdealTraits access to your Indeed account.
7. When you have successfully logged into/created your Indeed account, you will be redirected to IdealTraits and prompted to set a budget for your sponsored job ad. Once you've set your budget, select "Create Campaign"
Note: Ensure that you include only numerical values when setting your budget, and no special characters such as "$." (EX. 500.00 is fine, while $500.00 will not be accepted.)
9. Lastly, IdealTraits will ask you to confirm your campaign, review the budget, and when you are ready, click "Confirm".
Note: If you created an Indeed account during this process, you may see a pop-up asking you to try again in a few hours. Don't worry! This is just because Indeed needs some time to establish the connection. Leave your job ad active and allow at least 6 hours before trying to sponsor again.
10. That's it! You now have a sponsored job ad on Indeed.
Note: If you put a sponsored ad into "Paused", "Archive" or the ad "Expires" before your sponsored campaign is over, the campaign will pause and not spend any additional sponsorship money.
How to View Analytics & Job Ad Performance
1. On the top left of your IdealTraits account, click on "Jobs" > "View All"
2. Locate the Sponsored Job Ad you want to view analytics for
3. In the "Status" column, you will see a "Sponsored" status, and right below that, you will see "Indeed: View Report" click on this.
4. A window will open showing you the Indeed campaign analytics for your Sponsored Job Ad.
Note: Clients who go directly to Indeed to sponsor will not see campaign analytics on their IdealTraits platform. If this window reports '0' in each column, it means your ad was sponsored directly on Indeed (not through the IdealTraits platform), and you will need to check your Analytics on Indeed.
Use the "Indeed Analytic Dashboard" button as a shortcut when you want to view your campaign analytics page in Indeed.
